The Story

Massimo, the owner and winermaker of Perluca, began his journey in Las Vegas, Nevada where his father crafted his first vintage using Syrah grapes from Santa Barbara County. Massimo observed, as his father ingeniously turned their garage into a makeshift winery, complete with a vertical press and a garden hose ingeniously repurposed to extract the wine for his first vintage. His father's dedication amidst such an unconventional setup taught Massimo an invaluable lesson: Pursue your passion relentlessly, regardless of the odds.

From the winery
I'm Massimo Luca Barbieri, the vintner behind Perluca Wines. The name Perluca is a tribute to my uncle Luca, whose memory has profoundly shaped my life’s philosophy, imparted through my father's narratives.
